Howie58 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Greetings: The Pens are favorites (-270). They've taken 5 straight from us. Of late, PIT has not played well against the Metro: https://pickdawgz.com/nhl-picks/2023-03-11/flyers-vs-penguins-prediction-nhl-picks-3-11-23 NHL.com is showing Sandstrom versus Jarry. Foerster is on the second line--must have made a good impression. Laczynski is also in--Allison and Lemieux are out. https://www.nhl.com/news/philadelphia-flyers-pittsburgh-penguins-game-preview/c-342075068?game_pk=2022021039 A new era in Flyers history starts against an old nemesis--Crosby.

Well one more want hurt I would love for the Flyers too drop as close to the top 3 picks as possible. No sense in winning now. If the next guy can just move on from Hayes this offseason it will be a huge win. I won't get my hopes up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notfondajane Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 The Flyers should easily win this game. The Pens have no interest in winning games. All these games are is an all skate. Final score 6-4 Flyers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GratefulFlyers Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Wade Allison's NHL career is looking shaky he's got to find a way to stay in the lineup and quit getting hurt. I was really hoping it was just a one-game thing but he's out again today...bummer - I like his game. Seems like everything Fletcher touches ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer4ever Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I am still in BITFU lottery mode, but any chance to beat the whiny little bucktoothed bitch Cindy C you gotta go for it. Lets Go Flyers! Then back to losing out tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 The state of Pennsylvania vs. Carter Hart. Mr. Hart, you are charged with robbery in the 1st degree....how do you plead? CH: "Guilty on all counts, your honor. Those dirty Penguins were not going to take the lead just then!" "Mr. Hart, you are remanded back to the crease of Philadelphia to serve out your remaining minutes as goaltender of this game. Court is adjourned" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Wow. Nick Seeler. Caught flat footed watching, and Pittsburgh got a semi breakaway from it.

Fletcher said Seeler, “was a glue guy, good in the locker room” so his on ice play is secondary.

Howie58 Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 Well, I only watched the last 10 minutes and Torts' post-game on YouTube. Same old, same old. Zero for Three on the PP and we give up 1. Torts puts a good spin of stuff. Fine. He speaks about effort, good game management...yada, yada. But when the reporters ask, he ultimately suggests it is a talent issue. Yes, he wants the kids to grow. And he feels they are. But growth isn't enough. Meanwhile, Crosby is 35 but the dude goes to town against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are all mostly still in the development phase. New GM has his work cut out for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 2 minutes ago, radoran said: Hart for Austin Matthews. Starting point. Discuss. I would assume that Auston signs an extension, and it isn't Hart for one year of Matthews. 34 would put asses in seats. He would instantly the best Flyer in 15 years. Hart fixes the goaltending issue in Toronto for years. Matthews would be tasked with being the best player on a rebuilding team, again. Would he want to be traded to the Flyers? Matthews has a great (to me) personality. But, on a losing team in PHI i don't know how that plays- meaning will the press and fans HATE him because he's kind of a fuktard. I mean that in the best way, I like the guy from afar. He would be a reason high skill players would be attracted to sign or be open to being traded to PHI. This is the kind of thinking that has to happen though, big swings, while still being shrewd. Lots of ballast would need jettisoned, this presumes no more Hayes, Provorov/Sanhiem or maybe both, and definitely TDA / Ristolainen, Buyouts for Ellis and Atkinson. What gets done with Couturier? I think the decks would need cleared to make such a move. I would definitely signal some new thinking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torts wanted to evaluate which players were going to be part of the program going forward. Unless there was some sort of spoken commitment to Sanheim about the extension. The timing of the signing didn't make any sense for what the coach and also the GM stated publicly about the direction of the team. I think this bad season may be an outlier for Sanheim. With that contract that has to be the hope. I know lots of people hate him and his game, but historically the team plays in the offensive zone when he's been on the ice. At least that what the analytics say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe...just maybe, with Connor Bedard, some neanderthal on the Flyers won't cheapshot him in his first game against us and motivate him to score every...single...time he plays us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
